Twitter Helping Haiti

Philip — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:03:55 -0500

We now have more than 260 followers on twitter, and they are a wonderful "flock". The help we are getting from our followers has been tremendous. From situation reports from the ground in Haiti, to locating relief supplies and spreading the word about our trip, we don't know what we would have done in pre-twitter days. Today on twitter is "Haiti Relief Worker Appreciation Day". I would like to extend it, and say thanks to all of you for using this new social media to change the world. (Continued...)

Boy Scout Troop - 377 helps Schooner Liberty

Roger — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:48:04 -0500

21 boys of Boy Scout Troop 377 in East Setauket NY have each assembled personal relief kits for Haitian boys of their own age and sent them to Liberty Schooner to be delivered on their next voyage. The contents of the kits were selected and assembled by each individual scout with a Haitian boy in mind. They include such things as first aid items, cards, candy and small toys as distractions. Each boy included a personal hand written note to the recipient expressing concern and hope for the recipient's health and success through this disaster. This effort is extremely personal and inspired by the "I can do something" spirit of the Liberty Schooner and crew. The troop is also making a cash donation through PayPal to assist "Liberty" with the cost of the voyage. (View Post...)
